iT'S AN IRISH KIND OF DAY...

SWAMP DOG ON GUARD

It is 6:43 am and 68.8 degrees out and clear. Patrick is asleep with Junior downstairs. I say asleep, actually he is on guard duty, growling menacingly as I approached his sleeping pal... He is in doggy heaven.

Big BAGO road trip today.

From the Patriot Post:

Warfront with Jihadistan: Al-Qa’ida’s American allies

The Gray Lady is again aiding and abetting the enemy abroad and undermining morale at home. When great news came out of Iraq this week—U.S. forces freeing 42 al-Qa’ida prisoners, some held for four months and one of whom was only 13 years old—The New York Times ran an article about low morale in the Army. Instead of success, The Times trumpeted disillusionment among the enlisted ranks. Where did The Times actually discuss the 42 freed prisoners? Buried deep in paragraphs 11-13 of an article headlined “2 More GIs Killed in Roadside Bombing.” Wow. Way to give the home team an even break.

As for the freed prisoners, some had been hung from the ceiling, had broken bones and showed other signs of torture. With the al-Qa’ida torture manual recently released—complete with how to use electricity, clothes irons, drills and blowtorches to torture—we can only imagine what these captives went through. Amnesty International, busy protesting the suicide at Guantanamo this week, was not available for comment.

Speaking of our enemies’ allies, American al-Qa’ida member Adam Gadahn released a video this week making several demands of the U.S. If they are not met, the California-born convert to Islam threatened that we will “experience things which will make [us] forget about the horrors of September 11th, Afghanistan and Iraq, and Virginia Tech.” At least two of his demands put him right in line with the Democratic Party: Remove all U.S. troops from Muslim lands and release all Muslim prisoners. Ending support for Israel was another demand, also a position of a significant minority on the Left.

Is President Bush losing it? We don't like his attack on the right re the AMNESTY for ILLEGALS bill. We don't
trust his judgement in stating so emphatically that it is NOT AMNESTY, and questioning conservative's motives and tactics. Just saying it doesn't make it so, George, on this matter, or IRAQ or anything else. He is desperately casting about for a positive LEGACY for his administration and apperently thinks this AMNESTY thing is it. Uh, No, George, NO. This might be the GW moment, just like his Dad's Read-my-lips lie... So it goes.

GO GATORS

GOOD LUCK BILLY D.
